I'm currently running a 2010 Fox 36 Float RC2 with the travel set down to 145mm and have bee having serious problems with compression levels. My high and low speed are both fully open, but on chatter bumps I am getting no usage of travel. I get bit hit sensitivity, but get minimal to no movement even going over a speed bump. I have the air chamber set to 30% sag and that is pretty much where it stays until I hit something big.

Any ideas how I can bring back my small bump sensitivity and the 'supple' feel my fork used to have? Would re-building it with the compression fully open/closed help?

thanks

Blown bladder in damper cartridge or too much oil in Float air chamber. You need to rebuild your fork.

Yeah... Glad I had my local shop do the re-build for me because I was too busy. So much for farming out work.
